Black IPA dry hopping

[Byedziniak]

I am thinking of brewing a new england style black ipa. I'm looking for a balance of roasty/chocolate notes surrounded by stone fruit and citrus. I'm thinking of adding hops at flameout and then dry hopping. Should I dry hop at a rate similar to a standard neipa? From what I've seen 50g/ liter has come up a lot. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to Homebrew Talk

fwiw, a decade or two ago Shaun Hill brewed a well-regarded take on "Black IPA" - apparently well hopped but with minimal (verging on nil) "roasty" character. Might check out this discussion from BA about it to maybe glean some useful info

I dry hop my normal WCIPA rate for BIPAs.

50 g/l in total seems excessive for any style, let alone dry. When I make heavily hopped IPAs I might hit 30 g/l for all my additions combined. Nevertheless I'd go for anywhere between 8 - 16 g/l depending on what you want in a regular New England. Keep in mind that black and haze typically looks weird and muddy, so you might want to keep that down (4 - 8) or use less protein-rich grains. I'm interested in your results though if you do follow through.

I don't always dry hop my black IPA, but when I do it's only around 3 or 4 g/L. I tried moving the dry hops to whirlpool on my last batch but wasn't as happy with the aroma so I'll probably go back.

Sorry, that was a typo. Meant to be 15g/liter. I think your muddy comment is a good point. I will probably back that down closer to 8. . Thanks for the feedback. I'll let you know how it turns out
